US EditionDHS Reviews Reality Show Pitch Where Immigrants Compete for US Citizenship
- Kristi Noem is reportedly supporting a reality show called The American where immigrants compete for U.S. citizenship starting at Ellis Island.
- The show concept emerged from a 35-page pitch by producer Rob Worsoff to highlight the immigrant experience through competitions across the country.
- Twelve participants would take part in a series of competitions across the country, including activities like log balancing in Wisconsin and rocket launching in Florida, with judging handled by Citizenship and Immigration Services.
- Worsoff assured that the show would be deeply moving, predicting it would bring tears to many, while the top prize would be a naturalization ceremony.
- Noem’s office denies her direct involvement and says the project is in early vetting, but unnamed sources suggest she hopes for its success.
